ESSAYS ON SCIENCE AND SOCIETY: Polygraph Testing and the DOE National Laboratories
S Aftergood. Science. 2000.
Abstract
A new security policy that mandates polygraph testing as a security measure at U.S. national laboratories has spurred controversy, which is explored in this essay. Congress imposed the requirement last year in response to security failures at the labs. But opponents challenge the scientific validity of the polygraph, and argue that it could tend to undermine the vitality of the labs that it is intended to protect.
